Mansion 1878 is graceful traditional three storeys Private Villa located, in the heart of the picturesque village of Megalochori. The Past: Mansion 1878 is one of the most historical mansions of Santorini Island. Built in 1878, was once owned by one of the most powerful families on the island. At the turn of the 19 th century, the first floor would have been occupied by the family with the ground floor serving as the winery and cellar. The Vinsanto dessert wine produced was exported to Russia, where it was used by the Russian Orthodox Church for Holy Communion. Unfortunately, this all came to an end with the Russian Revolution which had a big impact on the wealth of families in this once flourishing village. The Present: The original structure has been sensitively renovated. Restored to its original splendor, retaining the original layout and traditional features, the gracious proportions and weathered building materials speak for themselves! The ground floor once served as the 'canava' (wine cellar and workshop) of the Mansion. The cylindrical troughs sunk into the ground, once used for distilling the Vinsanto, provides unusual lighting features to the interior. Three large barn-style doors lead from the cobbled courtyard into the various living areas. The smooth-edged carved interior provides a cool and relaxing haven during the hot summer days. Note that Mansion 1878 utilizes earthfriendly geothermal cooling, eliminating the need for electric air conditioning in the main house BLUE VILLAS Luxury Villas Collection International Line: +30 6972 702 581 info@bluevillascollection.com www. bluevillascollection.com
The large cobbled private courtyard, complete with pool is surrounded by potted shrubs and trees that are intimate in scale. A stone stairway leads up to the first floor with large terraces and panoramic views of the village on the horizon.
